Does the IAM shut down for winter?

[Bungy]

I'm keen to improve my riding and learn new skills but can't seem to contact my local group.

My local group runs all year, last social run January 3rd.

Was always one of my arguments as an Examiner in South Yorkshire ...

Come October I started to get tests coming in from all the surrounding areas, Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Derbyshire as respective Examiners and Groups put their bikes away for the Winter.

The Sheffield Group kept going

Good luck

I was out today

Bungy, If you go on the main IAM website and purchase the skills for life package, your local group will contact you automatically, thereafter. Ive done the skills for life like many and it represents excellent value.

Bungy, just to add, not championing anyone, just giving my honest view.

Have you contacted SAM ?

We don't stop in the winter here in the isle of Man.

Probably all in 'winter training' in southern Spain!

Glasgow North used to do observed rides only through the summer.

Thanks for all of the responses. I'll try some other routes to get a reply. I was trying to be patient and followed the guidance on their website.

Yep. As above. Have had to delay two sessions recently due to the weather but no general cessation.

It not always that the local IAM groups which shut down - I suspect none actually close although some of their members/observers may put their bikes off the road during the winter - it's more a problem when examiners decide not to ride and consequently tests are delayed

All year here in SW Scotland , in fact just passed my test yesterday in the pouring rain
